Police said the two men left the store in a maroon Dodge Neon with a broken passenger-side window.

Vinca Jewelry was also the scene of a million-dollar robbery in 2010, when thieves cut into the building in the middle of the night.

Zouein spoke to KMBC about the 2010 robbery last month, just before the statute of limitations was set to expire. He said after that robbery, he didn't focus on what he'd lost and just looked for ways to make his business better and more secure.
